A History of Halloweens

I have officially declared my favorite holiday Halloween. We seem to go all out each year and I really, really enjoy being crafty and creating all of our costumes. Presenting, our personal history of Halloween...

2004, before Ethan. This was one of my favorites, road and stoplight.

2005: Ethan was just under a year. He's a rhinoceros.

2006: Ethan was a penguin, Marko was Antarctica, and I was an arctic explorer.

2007: Ethan was a pirate, Marko a mailbox, and me a Dear John letter.

The Stanford Bunch said...: I TOTALLY remember ALL these costumes!!! The first 2 because it was in Rexburg, I remember the first was like when I barely knew you guys and we saw you at the BYUI carnival! And I remember you guys were safari guys (whatever they're called) when Ethan was a rhinoceros! This was too cute to see all the different costumes, I could learn a lot from you, I love the crayon thingy... how much do you charge? =); 10:05 PM

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
